To weigh or not to weigh? Frequency of weighing and rate of weight gain in patients with anorexia nervosa.
The present study compares the rate of weight gain during refeeding in 15 anorectic patients who were weighed daily with that of 15 who were weighed three times per week. There was no significant difference between the two groups.
